Mirror mirror on the wall, which is most honest of them all?
Photo: Hanna-Barbera Productions I was excited about the many purchases I would make when I moved into my own place last year. A TV larger than 32 inches, new plants that could thrive with access to sunlight, and a full-length mirror were at the top of my list. My old bedroom was too small for that last item, and I dreamed of being able to get a head-to-toe look at myself before leaving the house .
The Thickness Everyone I spoke with said the thickness of the mirror is the most important factor in finding a good one. As Sergio Mannino, the principal designer and founder of Sergio Mannino Studio, explains, “a mirror is just a layer of silver applied to the back of a glass,” so the thickness of that glass is a crucial part of a quality mirror. “We want everything cheap, but cheap means that they are making them thinner and thinner and thinner. And when the glass is thin, it warps,” he says.
The 360 Check Rae does what she calls the 360 check, “which is when you put your face in the center of the mirror and move around in a circle. You can usually tell if the imagery is slightly off,” she says. “Cheaper mirrors are really good at that front-on view, but it’s usually from the side that things look odd.”
